Time for Tutorials

Here at Complexity Explorer we have been focusing on our math tutorials.  Our offerings have grown quite a bit in a year and we are not planning on slowing down.  In December we released the Vector and Matrix Algebra tutorial with Anthony Rhodes, which has a wide applicability to many fields in science.  Anthony may be preparing a second tutorial related to Graph Theory so stay tuned for that! Sid Redner has been working on adding material to his Random Walks tutorial.  All of the quiz questions now have solutions, and we have uploaded a series of homework questions to challenge you - and the solutions so you can check your work. The Introduction to Information Theory tutorial by Seth Lloyd, with quiz and homework questions by Yoav Kallus is now available.  We are getting close to finishing up the Introduction to Computation Theory tutorial with Josh Grochow as well.
